We usually always have a traditional xmas fare, roast turkey, chicken, pork and ham, roasted vegies, mums famous gravy etc, but last year we had all the meats cold and served them with various sides (salads etc) and it was a really nice change

This year will be my first year hosting xmas at our house and I can't wait to do it

For desert we have Nans traditional Trifle, plum pudding with custard, xmas cake (homemade) and cheesecake. Also every year I make traditional shortbread.

Perhaps you could ask everyone to bring something maybe something small and then perhaps you could do the seafood and other traditional things?? checkout the taste website for some good recipes

Good luck I love xmas

p.s forgot to add that we serve ours like a buffet so everyone helps themselves to what they like
